Lot 266: Large Mid-Century Modern Cased Glass Pedestal Vase in Graduated Brown

A large hand-blown glass pedestal vase executed in a Mid-Century Modern style. The vessel features a triple-tiered form, consisting of two bulbous lower sections and a tall, slender neck that terminates in a wide, flared trumpet rim. The glass is cased with a graduated colour effect, transitioning from a deep oxblood brown at the rim and middle sections to a light tan and cream tone. The entire form is supported by a contrasting circular pedestal base of dark black glass. This piece is characteristic of cased glass production from the mid-20th century, in the style of manufacturers from regions such as Empoli, Italy, or Poland. No maker’s marks or labels are visible on the object.
